March 15 2025 — May 11 2025

In response to Ron Mueck’s monumental Pregnant woman, on loan from The National Gallery of Australia, The Ubiquitous Myth Of The Eerie Wife is a lush meditation on the eerie existence of the artist mother and on matrilineal creative inheritance and legacy, told against the hallucinatory and deeply familiar backdrop of Swan Lake.
